Statcounter is now showing 10% Linux market share on desktops in North America

Cloudflare is also showing the same trend: Linux usage on Desktops is rising. You can also filter the Cloudflare data to “likely human” and it still shows the same trend

Any chance most of this traffic is just bots hosted on Linux?

You can filter the cloudflare data for “likely automated” and “likely human” and that gives you ~6% Linux in the last 4 weeks. Cloudflares main business is bot and DDOS protection on a global scale, so their numbers will be the best you can get:

I would think most of it, since when you filter for other regions (Europe, Asia, etc), you don’t get such a strong trend. So if it is mostly driven by the US, I would exclude single users to be the cause. I don’t think there is any reason the user market would be this different there from other parts of the world.
